The Internets are Gone!

Hey guys,

Just a quick post in response to Sash the Red's comment on Brett's Nanpa part 2. The reason postings have been sparse lately is largely due to the fact that I FINALLY moved out of Brett's apartment and into a new one. When you move in Japan, it takes anywhere between two and four weeks to get your internet up and running again, so until today, I haven't been able to even read the Daily Yoji, let alone update it. But I have some free time next week so I can (like today) steal Brett's internets and bring you a couple of good posts that I've been saving. And my own internet will be officially up and running on February 5th, so we should be back to business with our usual semi-regularity.

In the interim, does anyone have any requests? Would you like more 諺, more 教科書に載っていない日本語? More Language Trivia? More cultural trivia? More pictures of Nirav? It's always good to get your comments, even better to get your corrections, and we would love some suggestions as well.(Keep in mind that our content rich 四字熟語 posts, despite being fun to research, can be time-consuming and pretty taxing to write, so at our best we'll probably only hit three a week.)

More of anything please! I really do enjoy the not in the textbook and the proverbs.

Also I agree with Alex, if you guys are studying for JLPT 1, grammar points would be great! I'm not sure because I am still studying for JLPT 2 but I think there are less grammar points in JLPT 1. I could be wrong though!

Welcome to The Daily Yo-ji

We have tons of Japanese grammar and idiomatic expressions, as well as proverbs and trivia in our archived posts. Please check them out! For an explanation of the kinds of posting we're doing these days, see this post.

Brett Staebell (Defendership)

While questing in the Rocky Mountains - only hours away from Denver, his birthplace and home - Brett discovered a magical talisman that whisked him halfway around the world to the remote island of Kyushu. Now hellbent on either finding a way home or a time machine that'll let him go back in time hundreds of years to hang out with samurai, he hones his language skills by posting on the Daily Yoji and sharpens his combat skills by pummeling the elementary school children he teaches.

Nirav Mehta (sqrtlsqd)

Nirav's only here because he's a friend. He's not really that good at Japanese, but go easy on him. He's sensitive.
